In the artist's words

ByEdgar DegasDecember 1, 1983

''[A picture is] an original combination of lines and tones which make themselves felt.'' ''The role of the butterfly must be very fatiguing, surely! I myself prefer to be the old ox, what?'' ''Drawing is not the same as form, it is a way of seeing form.'' ''In a single brushstroke we can say more than a writer in whole volume.''
